You're Not Alone in This
Being an employer comes with legal complexity at every turn — from hiring and onboarding to termination and everything in between. A single misstep in compliance, contracts, or workplace policy can expose your business to costly litigation. You didn't start your company to become a legal expert, and you shouldn't have to be one.
Hepworth Legal partners with Utah businesses of all sizes to provide proactive, practical legal guidance. We help you build compliant systems, draft enforceable agreements, and resolve disputes before they escalate. Think of us as outside general counsel — always a phone call away when your business needs legal clarity.
Areas We Handle
We provide comprehensive legal support to help Utah employers stay compliant, protect their interests, and build strong workplaces.
Employment Contracts
Well-drafted employment contracts set clear expectations and protect both your business and your employees. We draft, review, and negotiate offer letters, employment agreements, and independent contractor agreements that comply with Utah law and minimize your exposure to disputes.
Hiring & Termination Law
The legal risks around hiring and firing are significant — from discrimination claims to wrongful termination lawsuits. We advise on compliant hiring practices, proper documentation, at-will employment considerations, and lawful termination procedures so you can make personnel decisions with confidence.
Training & Development
Investing in employee training isn't just good business — it's a legal safeguard. We help employers develop training programs that address harassment prevention, workplace safety, and regulatory compliance, reducing liability while building a stronger team culture.
Labor Relations
Whether you're navigating union negotiations, responding to unfair labor practice charges, or managing employee organizing activity, we provide strategic counsel grounded in federal and Utah labor law. Our goal is to protect your business while maintaining productive workplace relationships.
Workers Compensation
When an employee is injured on the job, the workers' compensation process can be complex for employers. We help you understand your obligations, respond appropriately to claims, manage return-to-work programs, and defend against fraudulent or exaggerated claims before the Utah Labor Commission.
Non-Compete Agreements
Utah's Post-Employment Restrictions Act places strict limits on non-compete agreements. We draft enforceable non-competes, non-solicitation clauses, and confidentiality agreements that protect your trade secrets and client relationships while complying with Utah's evolving legal standards.
Workplace Investigations
When allegations of harassment, discrimination, or misconduct arise, a prompt and thorough investigation is critical. We conduct independent workplace investigations and advise employers on proper procedures, documentation, and corrective action to protect your organization and your people.
Disability & Accommodation
Navigating the ADA and Utah's anti-discrimination laws requires careful attention to the interactive process. We counsel employers on reasonable accommodation requests, medical leave issues, and disability-related employment decisions to ensure compliance and avoid costly claims.
Employee Benefits
Offering competitive benefits is essential for attracting talent — but the legal framework around ERISA, health insurance, retirement plans, and leave policies is intricate. We review and structure your benefits programs to ensure compliance and help you avoid penalties and employee disputes.
Employee Handbooks & Policies
Your employee handbook is your first line of legal defense. We draft and update comprehensive handbooks and workplace policies that reflect current Utah and federal law, clearly communicate expectations, and protect your business in the event of litigation.
Employer Business Contracts
From vendor agreements and service contracts to partnership documents and commercial leases, we draft and negotiate the business contracts that keep your operations running smoothly. Every agreement is tailored to your industry, your risk profile, and Utah commercial law.
